My thoughts on politics.
US State Department spokesman Ned Price and US Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Deborah Lipstadt on Monday memorialized victims of the bombing of the AMIA Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the attack on a tour bus in Burgas, Bulgaria. Both events share an anniversary date. The two took the opportunity …
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program has just received an infusion of $360m thanks to the US House Appropriations Subcommittee. This funding will help to keep synagogues and Jewish community centers safe by bolstering security. The money will go to fund security measures such as inspection and screening systems, fences, cameras, more secure doors, additional hiring …
Here he goes again, showing his true (antisemitic) colors. Mohamed Hadid, father of Bella and Gigi Hadid, both supermodels and both promoting antisemitic lies about Israel, said that Zionists control the world and the media. What to do about this? Hadid suggests we follow Nerdeen Kiswani of Within Our Lifetime, who promotes BDS and violence …

FBI investigators will be taking a look at who is responsible for leaving antisemitic flyers in driveways in the city of Colleyville. The flyers accuse Jews of causing COVID-19. One flyer, for example, says, “every single aspect of the COVID agenda is Jewish.” In case you’re somehow unaware, on January 15, four congregants of Congregation …
By now, we all know about the Amnesty International report that is full of lies and calls Israel an “Apartheid” state. What a lot of us want to know is why Israel? Why not anywhere else in the world that is actually guilty of human rights abuses? In Tubas (northeast of Nablus), Palestinian security officers …
Amnesty International issued a report this week, damning Israel as an “Apartheid” state, using all sorts of lies and distortions to whitewash the totally bogus accusation. Then Israel waited to see what the Biden Administration would say about the report. Would it support Israel or fall short of making a strong statement? Unfortunately, the statement …
